Very interested to see what they do with the evolutions

>Pirate, navy, or otherwise nautical theme? Generic brawler? Don Quixote style knight errant?

>Stay a duck? Become a larger form of waterfowl like a goose or duck? Or become a totally different bird? Storks, flamingos, and gannets are all found in Spain if they want to go that direction. Booby, frigatebird, albatross, and loon could all be possibilities

>Physical or special? Bulky or fast? Will it use kicks and punches or some sort of bladed feather weapon?

By process of elimination. Even if Faggoco isn't real it will probably be something similar and you just know Spirigatito is going to evolve into the furbait to end all furbaits.

Ducks are fine and all, and Quaxly is cute, but it feels like a starter final evolution would be better served by a different, more impressive waterbird species. I’d worry that a duck wouldn’t have the right wow factor and would fall a bit flat, similar to how Cinderace didn’t seem like a fully evolved, fully realized Pokémon.

What breaks my heart about all these Pokémon with jobs is that the concepts are sometimes quite cool, but they would work just fine with less anthropomorphic designs. “Spy chameleon” is a cool idea, and you could work it into a design in subtle ways while still keeping a more monstrous reptilian look. Instead they went for a full humanoid build. Corviknight is a solid example of a Pokémon that has a human-related, culture-based theme that incorporates it tastefully into an animalistic design. I want to see more of that. Cinderace is the polar opposite: just a person dressed as an animal and a painfully over the top job theme.

I agree, when I first heard that Sobble was rumored to become a spy chameleon I thought that it would be hard to fuck that up. Then Inteleon leaked and I felt so disappointed. I still ended up using him but I wish it wasn’t so thin and humanoid.

Fortunately, I feel like all of the bird starters have had pretty good final evolutions. Blaziken, Empoleon, and Decidueye so hopefully the trend continues with Quaxly.

Can it be anything but a Columbus reference? It's the only starter without an Spanish name, and the blue footed bubi can only be found in south America.

Well, the Americas. They make it as far north as Mexico reliably and further north than that on rare occasions. I think a generic seabird with influences from multiple species is a real possibility. A touch of gannet/booby, a dash of albatross or frigatebird, some basic gull elements. Ducks are generally silly and non-threatening animals, so a different bird could make a better final evo. I don’t want to generalize too hard, though: there are awesome, hardcore species like Harlequin Ducks and Torrent Ducks or interesting oddballs like Musk Duck, Steamer Ducks, and mergansers.

My hope for the HA is Swift Swim for peak performance. Like Ludicolo on steroids.

Like fuecoco as a first stage more but third stage is all that really matters. Usually go waterbro as my first starter for every gen so I’m hoping his final evo is good

So it’s this gens shillmon right? Why would they put a Water starter in the middle otherwise against all estabilished conventions?

There is absolutely no way Sprigatito isn't the shillmon.
I'm pretty sure GF decides the shillmon based on whichever first stage is more popular, and Sprigatito seems to be the favorite.

Froakie was easily least popular on first stage reveal. While Rowlet was the most popular on its first stage reveal. The shillmon final evo and most popular basic stage in isolation only sometimes overlap, like with Scorbunny I think.

Decidueye was the shillmon in gen 7.
It failed as the shillmon and Incineroar eventually overshadowed it because of smash bros, competitive, and furries, but Decidueye was the intended shillmon.

Sakurai decides which Pokemon goes in Smash, not GF. GF doesn't know anything about competitive. And furries were frankly inevitable for Incineroar.
Decidueye is in Pokken and Unite, which GF has more control over, and now even has a new form.
Although, really, Rowlet is a bigger shillmon than Decidueye. Hence the anime role.

Also it have more screentime in the trailer with additional battle scene. I think, duck is actually shillmon for gen 9. Cat with grass/dark types from leaks is like saying from GF: don't pick this thing, because it have most weaknesses than other two

Pretty sure I used keldeo on my first new playthrough. The event was like Lv 15.
Kelsey and urshifu are also both obtainable in a swsh playthrough I'm fairly certain since you can do the dlc as soon as you have 1 badge.
And swsh is so easy it doesn't matter if you use a team of 1 baby pokemon or 6 legendaries.
So not really a valid argument especially when you're trying to back up OP making a factually untrue statement
